"Firearms Training Course"?
The commonest courses I see are handgun courses, ranging from 'no-nothing' to 'advanced' levels. The beginning level classes (safety, handling, operating, cleaning) are quite valuable for those who have just purchased a handgun and are intending to defend self and home.
Many of the advanced classes concentrate on current competition concepts. Which I find very impressive and quite useless for many shooters. Too much emphasis on multiple targets within time limits, magazine changes and advanced practice. Not enough attention to one or two adversaries and how to determine what to do in unexpected circumstances.
Then there are various degrees of rifle courses. Ranging from basic safety to details of aiming in various conditions. Some are geared toward hunting, some toward formal target shooting.
The person selecting a course needs to decide what skills they need and what course can help them.
